Here we go... 
LOTTERY – I want to win big, but I guess I have to play, huh? {we don't}
LAUNDRY – I love to do laundry. Seriously. How sad is that? Ever since we bought our super duper deluxe washer + dryer last year, I love to do laundry. We put in new shelving next to the washer + dryer {which are stackable} and I just find it so easy + pleasant. There is a button and cycle for everything which makes every load a dream. Ahhh, laundry nirvana :)
LAUGHING – I love a good laugh + joke. And in my family, there are plenty of comedians to keep me laughing.
LOGOS – My favorite design project to work on.
M is for…
MONEY – show me the money :) There never seems to be enough to do all the grand things we want to do... I think this is a universal view!
MUM – The most important thing I will be and do in my life. My own mum is one of the most talented women I know. All my artistic traits I got from her. My love to organize, again from her. I don't know how she managed with five kids – but she did it. She set a great example for my sisters, brother + myself of how a family should be. To this day she has more energy to tackle any project. We all got our "can-do-it yourself" attitude from her. And for that we love her for it!
MICHELLE – my older sister who lives in New Orleans. Fun-loving + always up for a good time! We miss her and wish she would move back east... but she's been living down there for over 15 years now so chances are slim she'll be moving back here anytime soon.
MUSIC – I love to listen to music especially my iPod... but lately I have been listening to an online radio station called, "Pandora". You can put in a favorite artist and they will play like-minded other artists. It's pretty cool. I now need better speakers for my G5!
NICOLE – the middle child of our family. She's so good to my kids! She's the one who will babysit for us, take the kids to the park, or pick up the cutest outfits for them. {all my sisters do this, but NIcole especially} I do the most with Nicole – shop and hang out.
NORWAY – Neal's sister lives in Norway with her family. It's beautiful there and we can't wait to visit them again.
NEAL – my husband, my best friend.
OPERATION – I have only had two. The first one was an emergency c-section at 1:00am in the morning when I had William. The second was a nicely scheduled c-section for Davis. Totally night and day operations.
OPERA – I really like listening to opera and have quite a few CDs. My favorite is La Bohemé.
OCEAN – I absolutely love being at the ocean. Perhaps my favorite place to hang out. Before I die, I really want to own a property right on the ocean.
ORGANIC – We've been trying to eat organic for a few years now. With Neal's background in chemistry + all the things he tells me about the environment, you'd be eating organically too if you knew what kind of chemicals are really used!
PAINT – I love to paint of any kind. I enjoy doing abstract + collage painting. I also don't mind painting the walls and trim of our house. By no means is it a favorite activity of mine, but I get great satisfaction prepping + painting a room. I think it's that instant gratification feeling you get.
PHOTOGRAPHY – I wish I was a good photographer. I've been told I'm a good photo editor. (I once had to edit 500 photos for a project) I have taken a few good photos that surprise even me... but it's due to luck, not skill! This is something I want to work on!
PRACTICAL – I wish I could say I was practical, but sometimes, I'm just not. The older I get, the more practical I am getting. But sometimes I just want to have fun or just wing it, than be practical about something. Life is too short.
PROCESS – I love hearing about other people's design process. For me, a lot of what I do is just innate... it just happens. I don't think too much about it, I just go with my gut, do what feels right. In the end I'll reflect on my decisions – but during the process, I just let things unfold + happen.
